Choice We All Face, The

EXCELLENT GOSPEL OUTREACH TOOL

 THIS BOOKLET IS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN SINCE MY CAMP DAYS AND HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE. IT PROMOTES GOSPEL PERCEPTION CLEARLY, PROMOTES UNDERSTANDING WISELY, AND REINFORCES EASILY UNDERSTOOD TEACHING. YOU COME AWAY TO KNOW OUR FATHER IS THE KIND POTTER, AND FORGIVES OUR SIN THROUGH JESUS. MY ONLY CRITICISM WOULD BE PERHAPS SECTION 2 IS NOT SENSITIVE ENOUGH. YOUNG PEOPLE IN ADDICTIONS AND GANGS DO NOT EASILY FORGET THEIR PEER PRESSURE AND MAY QUICKLY REBEL AT THIS POINT. JESUS SPOKE TO ZACHAEUS IN A COOL WAY AND INVITED HIM FOR TEA. I THINK TODAY PREACHERS HAVE TO COME DOWN TO TO THE LEVEL MORE AND MAKE POSITIVE COMMUNICATION TO THE REBELS! I TINK THE AREA THATS COMPLEX IS WHERE I WAS WORKING 8 YEARS AND THE YOUNG PEOPLE AND ESPECIALLY 'HOMELESS' OR GANG MEMBERS - THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY MORE EASILY THEIR BAD HABITS AND HOW THEY ARE AFFECTING INNOCENT LIVES.

HOWEVER, THE BOOKLET PICTURES SIMPLIFY OUR MESSAGE AND ARE GENERALLY VERY EFFECTIVE WITHOUT BEING CONFRONTATIONAL. NOT GOING TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT AND AVOIDING TOO MUCH DETAIL IS AMPLE FOR THE UNBELIEVER.

I THINK THAT GUIDELINES - AND THE PICTURES HELPFULLY ASSIST LEARNING.

THIS BOOKLET IS AN EXCELLENT TOOL FOR HELPING ANY ADULT WITH WITNESSING TO YOUNG PEOPLE IN ORDINARY CONTEXTS.

SO MANY ADULTS TOO NEED TO READ THE BENEFITS OF SALVATION AND SECTION 5 & 6 HIGHLIGHTS THE DESPERATE GOSPEL ISSUE WELL AND ARE MY FAVOURITES!

THIS WHOLE COLOUR FORMAT IS PRECISE AND IS A HANDY BOOKLET TO AID MEMORY FOR THE RECIPIENT SO THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THE GOSPEL.

IT HELPS REINFORCE LEARNING THAT JESUS IS LORD AND IS THE WAY TO GOD OUR FATHER WHO IS OUR CREATOR... ALMOST THERE...

PERHAPS THE WORK OF THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT NEEDS CAREFUL ADDITIONAL EXPLANATION WITH SOMETHING ABOT GOD'S CREATIVITY? EG THE FIRST MIRACLE AND THE WINE OR ANY IN FACT : PERHAPS ALSO NEATLY SUMMARISED BRIEFLY WITH REFERENCES ON ANOTHER 2 PAGES ? TODAY PEOPLE EVERYWHERE ARE SEEKING LEADERSHIP. AND AS WE KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT IS IN CONTROL WHERE HE IS BRINGING PEACE SALVATION DELIVERANCE AND THE GOSPEL! THE SECTION ON 'TWO WAYS TO LIVE' IS GREAT BUT PERHAPS A SECTION 7 WITH 2 PAGES OF REPENTENT HOLY SPIRIT FILLED BELIEVERS ARE THE ILLUSTRATION IN EVERY CHRISTIAN DENOMINATION.

THOUGH THE WITNESS POSSIBLY HAS TO BE SENSITIVE TO THE ISSUES OF SIN AND OTHER FACTORS THAT THE SINNER MAY HAVE- AND WOULD BE TRUSTING THE HOLY SPIRIT'S GUIDANCE - THE WITNESS GENERALLY CAN'T GO WRONG AS THE BOOKLET IS WELL LAYED OUT AND THE GOSPEL CLEARLY ILLUSTRATED!

IE AT ANY PAGE THE BOOKLET POINTS TO CHRIST'S DEATH AND RESURRECTION (SECTION 5) LEADING TO THE ULTIMATUM (SECTION 6) AND BOOKLET HAS GIVEN A POWERFUL MESSAGE ENCOURAGING THE WITNESS AND THE RECIPIENT SINNER. AMEN ! MARK TELFER
